In the past couple of years, watching WWE has gotten confusing. Every brand is on a different platform, with its television and streaming rights changing hands every few years.
In the United States, none of the three weekly shows (Raw, SmackDown, and NXT) airs on the same platform. WWE Network used to be the one-stop shop for its Premium Live Events, but that’s not the case anymore. With WWE having so many shows, and most of them being on different platforms, it becomes hard to keep track of all of them. This WWE streaming guide aims to help you figure out where you can watch its PLEs and weekly shows depending on the country you’re currently in.

WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs)
United States
Starting September 2025, WWE PLEs moved to ESPN’s platform. An ESPN Unlimited subscription (plans starting at $29.99 a month) is required to watch WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and the rest of WWE’s PLE catalogue.
Note that this doesn’t include NXT shows. Those are available to watch for free on YouTube for the time being, after WWE’s deal with Peacock expired.

Outside of the United States, Netflix holds the PLE rights in most countries. Fans will simply need to buy a Netflix plan (pricing varies by country), depending on the tier, and they’ll be able to watch all of WWE’s premium shows, including NXT.
